FBI Warns Americans: Russian Hackers Compromise Thousands on Secure Messaging App Signal

The FBI has warned Americans that Russian intelligence-linked hackers are targeting users of popular messaging apps like Signal, compromising thousands of accounts and gaining access to private messages, as well as impersonating victims in a global campaign. The hackers use phishing scams and other tactics to trick users into divulging sensitive information. The hacking spree appears to be part of a broader effort by Russian intelligence services to gather intelligence on individuals and groups around the world. Authorities are urging Signal users to be vigilant and take steps to protect their accounts from these sophisticated attacks.
